Texas Instruments EK-TM4C129EXL Crypto Connected LaunchPad

Texas Instruments EK-TM4C129EXL Crypto Connected LaunchPad is powered by hardware encryption accelerator-enabled MCUs. It enables engineers to develop high performance, data protected, connected IoT applications from secure cloud connection, building/factory automation and smart grid to industrial controls. This evaluation kit is a low-cost platform for ARM® Cortex-M4-based microcontrollers. The kit design highlights the TM4C129ENCPDT MCU with on-chip Crypto acceleration hardware. It includes 10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY, USB 2.0, hibernation module, motion control pulse-width modulation and a multitude of simultaneous serial connectivity. The out-of-box demo for the Crypto Connected LaunchPad demonstrates the use of Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL) protocol to connect an IoT product to a cloud server securely. The TLS/SSL support is provided by WolfSSL library that uses the TM4C129E MCU's hardware crypto accelerators. This enables the development of secure connected applications at relatively higher performance.
